This day will be filled with inspirational speakers, workshops, celebration; food, and a Grand Ultreya as we prepare for our upcoming Men’s and Women’s English and Spanish language Cursillo weekends.

The Cursillo Movement began in August 1944, on the island of Mallorca where a one-week course named Cursillo, for Leaders of Pilgrims, was offered by the Catholic Action movement to those who were preparing a pilgrimage to the Shrine of St. James at Compostela. Eduardo Bonnín and a group of his friends devised a method that made a profound change in the day-to-day life of the communities in which they lived. Much has changed since then in the United States, worldwide, and in the Episcopal Church. Yet, the basic tenets of Cursillo remain the same: “Make a friend, be a friend and bring a friend to Christ.”

Please join the Cursillo Community for a discussion about how we can improve the impact of this movement in our community. Recently it has been discussed that the Anglo weekends in January 2017 should be postponed in lieu of a general retreat for the community, so we can re-tool the movement.

Are we doing all we can do? Are there signs that demonstrate that we need to take corrective action? Where is the Holy Spirit leading us on weekends, Fourth Day, grouping and our connection with one another? Please come add your prayers and your ideas, as Secretariat charts a course for the future.
